DNF is missing command
by Saint Michael
I am using Fedora 23 and documentation I found says that this command
should exist:
dnf --quiet --duplicated,
But the command does not exist
This is the version I have, which I am not sure how to interpret
dnf --version
1.1.10
Installed: dnf-0:1.1.10-1.fc23.noarch at 2016-09-02 18:43
Built : Fedora Project at 2016-08-18 14:43
Installed: rpm-0:4.13.0-0.rc1.13.fc23.x86_64 at 2016-09-02 18:43
Built : Fedora Project at 2016-04-25 13:50
I need to remove duplicates, what is going on?

starwars
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I would like to create a scrolling text like at the beginning of the
Lucas' film starwars.
On the internet, I can find some ubuntu starwars program, but I am
unable to find it for fedora (or find the source code).
Does anyone know some program to produce such a scrolling text under linux?
Thank you.

Chrome not Chromium on Fedora 24
by Peter G.
I noticed that chromium was now in the fedora repo, so I
installed it. It turns out that pepperflash is not included,
but I found freshplayerplugin on rpmfusion. I was not able to
get it working (the audio/video/ebooks from the public
library services, such as overdrive, hoopla, Naxos Music
Library, did not work).
There was already a google-chrome-stable repo in yum.repos.d
from before, so I updated chrome. This is where the
problems/confusion began...
1. google-chome-stable is no longer located in /usr/bin
2. no links appear in the launcher (easy to create manually)
3. dead links to the executable in /usr/bin and
/etc/alternatives
4. chrome is now installed to /opt
5. the google chome repo file has vanished from yum.repos.d
6. privacy badger does not recognize chrome in /opt and no
amount of uninstalling, closing down chrome, restarting and
freshly installing the badger would get it to work
So...
Can I manually create the google-chrome-stable repo file and
will it now update the version installed to /opt, or is this
going to cause a big mess?
Or, do I henceforth have to uninstall chrome and reinstall
for every new upgrade?

unable to start rc-local.service
by François Patte
Bonsoir,
I try to enable rc-local service:
1- I created /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
#!/bin/bash
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --sport 1900 -j ACCEPT
2- I chmoded /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
But the service won't start:
# systemctl status rc-local.service

On other nstall of fedora 23 this works.... Why not on this computer?
Thank you.

Aargh! More systemd nonsense
by Tom Horsley
I finally have enough kludgery in my reboot script to reboot
the system fast, now when I install an update I get a
systemctl restart rpcbind.service
command run from DNF hanging for several minutes before
the dnf update can proceed.
GAAAAH!

Seeking advice on router.
by Erik P. Olsen
I have a linksys router model WRT160NL but the range is too short. I
experience many situations where the connection is dropped when the
distance from the router is more than 25 feet. What is the recommended
router when it comes to signal strength? I would prefer one which can be
flashed with dd-wrt.
Thanks in advance

F24 - Toshiba satellite pro A210 shutdown/reboot issues...
by fedora2015
Hello,
I swapped a hard drive from a failing HP DV9000 to a Toshiba satellite
pro A210. Before doing so, I removed the nvidia drivers and switched to
nouveau. The unit boots up and works fine; however, I get the following
error messages on boot:
[0.037000] Mp-bios bug:8254 timer not connected to io-apic
[1.526038] ata1: softreset failed (device not ready
When I attempt to either shut down or reboot, it switches from the gui
to a black screen with either "reboot" or "shutdown" on the top left
hand corner and simply hangs there. The power button has to be held down
to shut off the notebook. I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Some
googling results in feedback stating it is an acpi problem solved by
adding acpi --force to the boot parameters?
Any clues would be appreciated...
Thanks!

Booting from SSD or not
by Kevin Wilson
Hi all,
I have several machines in my lab, all of them running Fedora.
Some of the have both SSD and non SSD drivers.
Since the setup is dynamic (sometimes I transfer disks from machine to
machine), there are cases that the SSD drive is one machine is
disconnected/moved to a different machine, and the boot is done
from the other non SSD driver (on which also Fedora is installed).
Is there a way to know whether to boot was done from SSD or not ?
(I know I can try to read the product name of the device from which
boot was done, but in many cases this is not enough to know straight
away whether it is SSD or not.
Regards,
Kevin
